This scan rated NIS2 with an earlier keyword method that is no longer shown; rescan for the per-article view. Risk management, continuity, supply chain, training, MFA, management oversight (Art. 20) and incident reporting (Art. 23) need internal evidence, and Guard cannot tell whether NIS2 applies to this organisation.

GDPR is indicative only, based on publicly visible signals: Articles 7, 12, 13 and 32 of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 and Article 5(3) of the ePrivacy Directive. Not a certification or legal assessment.

Priority findings

8 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • Critical

      EU business without adequate privacy measures

      EU businesses are subject to strict GDPR requirements

      What to do: Implement comprehensive GDPR compliance including privacy policy, cookie consent, and data protection measures

    • High

      No Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

  2. Security headers

    Security headers are instructions your web server sends to every visitor’s browser. Missing ones leave visitors more exposed to attacks such as clickjacking and injected scripts.

    • High

      Missing Strict-Transport-Security header

      Forces HTTPS connections

      What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

      • CWE-319
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1
    • High

      Missing X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

    • High

      Missing Content-Security-Policy header

      Controls resources the browser is allowed to load

      What to do: Implement a Content-Security-Policy appropriate for your application

      • ASVS V3.4.3
      • OWASP Secure Headers: OWASP Secure Headers Project recommends Content-Security-Policy: default-src 'self'; form-action 'self'; base-uri 'self'; object-src 'none';…

Results by check

Each check with its score, findings and the evidence it collected.

How this score is calculated

The security score runs 0–100, higher is better. It is the plain average of the security checks that completed in this scan, each counted equally. A check that could not run is left out: it counts neither as a pass nor as a fail.

Not counted

  • NIS2 outside view: Re-weights evidence from the TLS, email, DNS, network and hygiene checks, so counting it would count that evidence twice. Shown on its own.
  • OffSeq Observations: An AI reading of the site, useful context but not reproducible evidence. Shown on its own.

Findings that cap the score at 49

Each of these is serious on its own, so while any is present the site cannot rate better than high risk, however good the other checks are.

  • The certificate is not trusted by browsers
  • The website is not served over HTTPS
  • A database, remote desktop, file-sharing or Telnet service is reachable from the internet
  • The page loads a script from a compromised source
  • The domain registration has expired
  • SPF authorises every server to send mail as the domain

Partial scans

When the site blocks Guard or most checks cannot run, the score covers only the checks that ran (usually DNS and email), is capped at 75 and is shown as partial, without a risk level.

Technical appendix

Business context, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.

Business context

Business profile

The initiative operates in the non-profit sector, leveraging its affiliation with Erzdiözese Freiburg to build trust and engage donors. Its business model centers on fundraising and social engagement. The website's partnership with www.ebfr.de and use of professional CMS and hosting services indicate a stable operational environment. The target audience is regional and faith-based, with clear communication channels and donation mechanisms. Growth potential lies in expanding donor engagement and improving digital compliance.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and includes standard security headers, indicating a good baseline security posture. Use of Matomo analytics with cookie disabling when consent is denied shows privacy awareness. However, the absence of a cookie consent banner and lack of published security or incident response policies represent compliance gaps. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. Recommendations include implementing visible consent mechanisms and publishing security policies to enhance trust and compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Implement a GDPR-compliant cookie consent banner to inform users and manage tracking consent.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency.
  3. Add a terms of service page to clarify user rights and obligations.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to meet modern standards and improve user experience.
  5. Regularly review and update third-party scripts and CMS components to mitigate vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Edith CMS, using jQuery and Bootstrap frameworks, indicating a moderately modern tech stack. Hosting is provided by w-commerce.de, a professional provider. Performance is moderate with asynchronous script loading and responsive design. SEO is basic with meta tags and Open Graph data present. Accessibility is basic but could be improved. The site uses Matomo analytics for privacy-conscious tracking. Technical risks are low but could be mitigated by updating consent mechanisms and improving accessibility compliance.
Standards and sources

Reference chips under each finding point to the standard, regulation or specification the finding relates to. They are taken from the official datasets below and mapped conservatively: a finding with no defensible link shows none. NIS2 and GDPR references mark where a finding is relevant evidence, not a compliance verdict. Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690 binds digital infrastructure and digital service providers; for other entities it is the most detailed public reading of the Article 21 measures. WCAG, EN 301 549, European Accessibility Act and Web Accessibility Directive references name the requirement an automated accessibility rule relates to; they are not a conformance verdict.
